crock pot shredded beef tacos
Slow Cooker Shredded Beef Tacos Recipe
(Adapted from My Kitchen Addiction)
Ingredients:
1-2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
2 pounds beef (boneless chuck roast)
1 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
1 cup beef stock
2 Tbsp. tomato paste
1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, minced (I love spice and used two!)
1/2 large sweet onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
Flour tortillas
Favorite taco toppings (**ideas below**)
Method:
Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, combine the chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika in a small bowl.
Rub the spice mix into the beef, covering each side evenly. Once the oil is hot (it will shimmer a bit in the skillet), place the beef in the skillet and sear on each side.
Remove the beef from the skillet and place in the bottom of a slow cooker. Leave the pan on the heat, and add in the beef stock to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the tomato paste and minced chipotle and whisk into the pan sauce. Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for a few minutes until the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic on top of the seared beef in the slow cooker. Pour the pan sauce down over the onions, garlic, and beef. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
Remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred with two forks. Use a slotted spoon to remove the onions from the slow cooker, and mix into the shredded beef.
Serve the beef in the flour tortillas, topped with your favorite taco toppings.
Some topping ideas include:
guacamole or avocado
fresh salsa
Mexican rice
grated cheese
fresh lettuce
tomato
onion
cilantro
squeeze of lime juice
Ali’s Tip:
If you’re like me and rarely make it through an entire can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, would highly recommend chipotle powder! It’s now available in most grocery stores, and is so fun to have on hand. For one pepper, I usually substitute in around 1/2 tsp. of the powder.

These are AMAZING!!! wedding cupcake recipe and link to making wedding cupcakes. I had to make a high altitude adjustment (3600 ft) and it is as follows: increase flour 1 TBSP, decrease white granulated sugar 1 TBSP, increase water 1 TBSP, increase baking temperature t0 340 degrees F. Also I ended up using a Duncan Hines Classic White cake mix that was only 16.5 oz.

white wedding cake cupcakes Yield: 36 cupcakes Prep Time: 15 min Cook Time: 18 min I'm not usually one to use a boxed cake mix and doctor it up. I'm more accustomed to using entirely homemade recipes, but this one caught my eye and looked good. These turn out delicious, moist and fluffy cupcakes- perfect for holding buttercream frosting. Ingredients: 1 (18.25 ounce) box white cake mix 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup granulated white sugar 3/4 teaspoon salt 1 1/3 cups water 2 Tablespoons vegetable or canola oil 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup sour cream 4 large egg whites Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Place cupcake liners in cupcake pans (you'll need approx. 36). 2. In a large bowl, whisk together cake mix, flour, sugar and salt. Add remaining ingredients and beat with hand mixer for 2 minutes, or until well blended. 3. Use ice cream scoop to fill prepared cupcake tins- fill about 3/4 full. Bake about 18 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Tips: *Recommend: Duncan Hines "Moist" White Cake mix for this recipe. *You can use either regular or light sour cream for this recipe, but heck... since it's a wedding cupcake and you want it to be as delicious and moist as possible, I recommend going for the full-fat kind. *Add 1 teaspoon of almond extract (in addition to the vanilla) if you wish to have a different flavor. *Using an ice cream scoop is perfect for getting the batter into the cupcake tins without spilling. *You can also use this mix to make cake. Pour into greased and floured cake pans. Bake until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
